Blame the Senate. RFKJ has long been known as a crackpot who parlayed one discredited research paper into a successful "career" as an antivax crusader. Trump's stupidity makes him RFKJ's useful idiot, but damage would be minimal if the Senate had done its freakin' job and refused to confirm him.

For decades, I've argued that women should keep their last names when they marry. It's a relic of archaic laws that viewed marriage as a transfer of "property" (read: a woman) from parents to husband. But never did I imagine that *this* caliber of misogynistic fuckery could actually come to pass.
Christian nationalists claim to "venerate" wives and say it's a woman's "highest" calling.
But also, they think you should lose your right to vote if you pursue this "highest" calling.
